in down markets make it a welcome holding in the
worst of times.
Vanguard FTSE Social Index
VFTNX
Performance has improved at this fund since it
switched to the
FTSE4
Good
US
Select Index in
December
2005
. The fund has beaten its average
peer while lagging the S
&
P
500
by a modest
amount. The fund charges a mere
0
.
16%
, so it’s a
pretty good bet.
Vanguard Institutional Index
VINIX
This is the institutional version of
Vanguard 500
Index
VFINX
. It charges just
0
.
04%
. Enough said.
Vanguard Selected Value
VASFX
Vanguard’s active funds’ are pretty cheap, too. This
one charges just
0
.
41%
for the services of three solid
value managers. It’s run by Barrow Hanley, Donald
Smith
&
Co., and Pzena, each of whom has a slightly
different value strategy. The fund has top-quartile
returns over the trailing
10
- and
15
-year periods.
Vanguard Total Bond Market Index
VBTLX
Along with
PIMCO
Total Return, this fund makes two
funds in the intermediate-bond category. Why two?
The index is heavily weighted to U.S. government
securities, whereas
PIMCO
Total Return invests in
government bonds as well as high-yield, foreign
debt, and currency plays. Thus, we provide two very
different paths for employees to select.
Wasatch Small Cap Growth
WAAEX
Jeff Cardon has the longest tenure of any of the
managers in our
401
(k). He’s been running this closed
fund since
1986
. He uses the same flexible small-
cap-growth strategy that he’s used all along. However,
over the years Wasatch has built up its analyst
staff so that he receives more support than he did in
the early years.
